"Had an older president like Joe Biden babbled like this there would have been immediate calls to airlift him to a sanatorium. The man isn’t well, folks. Let’s stop pretending this isn’t a problem," writes columnist Rex Huppke. Read more here: bit.ly/4h2KxLA #25thAmendmentNOW

Keep hoping I haven't got scammed by Premium Ejuice, but hope is fading away. Should have noticed: glitzy surface, huge number of my order, block on printing invoice. List on their site of every ejuice you've ever heard of. No delivery. DO NOT GET SCAMMED BY PREMIUM EJUICE.

The Toronto Star has a superb and complex article by Linda Svendsen reflecting on Alice Monro reacting to her fiction. It's fascinating reading but, alas, behind a pay wall. If you already subscribe to the Star, or don't mind subscribing, you might look it up.

There’s massive and increasing gender based violence against women. Preparing women, telling them the reality, and showing them statistics isn’t sexism. It’s fact that men are the main perpetrators of violence and not by a small percentage.

“You use your mind like a millstone […!]” Marianne Moore’s “TO MILITARY PROGRESS,” for today’s military march #poetry
TO MILITARY PROGRESS

You use your mind 
like a millstone to grind 
chaff.

You polish it
and with your warped wit 
laugh

at your torso, 
prostrate where the crow
falls
on such faint hearts 
as its god imparts, calls

and claps its wings till the tumult brings
more
black minute-men 
to revive again,
war

at little cost.
They cry for the lost
head
and seek their prize 
till the evening sky's
red.

You can’t clear up disinformation with a blast of truth, because the cause of most disinformation in our culture is not error but a loss of trust in institutions and mechanisms of truth acquisition.

You replay things in your head because no one gave you closure. So you write your own. In your mind. Over and over. That’s not madness. That’s grief with nowhere to go.
